Maaya's official homepage posted up a link to an interview between Maaya and a Oosumi Masaki who was in the same theatrical production as her: Hikousen (airship). So Maaya basically debuted on the stage and grew up in the company of this man. They discuss the old days and there are pictures of Maaya looking through old production programs.

Interview page.

According to his blog profile and his Japanese wikipedia page Oosumi Masaki is famous for his work on the Moomin's and Lupin III. Small sample:

Sakamoto: Through a connection at my dad's work, from being really, really small I was able to go see what was put on by the Hikousen Theatrical Company. I think the very first time I experienced a play was through Hikousen.

....

Sakamoto: When I was first taken at about 2 years old, my mother seemed to be worried
and said "In the blackout at the theatre, won't you cry?" *laugh*

Maaya got into theatre at a young age apparently!
